Infoblox and Fortinet FortiGate: Securing your Network
From IoT to an always-on mobile workforce, organizations face increasingly complex IT infrastructures that are more exposed to attacks than ever before. By combining Infoblox’s IPAM and DNS security and protection with Fortinet’s Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), users can automate the security of their network.
Infoblox and FortiGate NGFW together enable security and incident response teams to leverage the integration of firewalls and DNS security to enhance visibility, manage assets, ease compliance and automate remediation. Thus, improving your security posture while maximizing your ROI in both products.
Watch this video to get a quick overview of the integration.
In the attached documents you will find the templates for the Fortinet integration in PDF and txt format. The templates are provided “as-is” and should be tested in your lab environment and modified as needed before implementing them into production.
The templates require extensible attributes described in the table below. It is recommended to inherit attributes with the default values from the network view level.
| Extensible Attributes | Description | Type |
| Fortinet_Asset_Group | Defines which address group in FortiGate NGFW to add/delete objects from. | String |
| Fortinet_Asset_Sync | True/False: Defines if the network object is added/deleted from FortiGate NGFW. | List (true,false) |
| Fortinet_Asset_SyncedAt | Provides the last time the network object was added/modified on FortiGate NGFW. | String |
| Fortinet_Security_Group | Defines which address group in FortiGate NGFW to add objects to, at the time of a security incident. | String |
| Fortinet_Security_Sync | True/False: Defines if the network object is added to FortiGate NGFW, at the time of a security incident. | List (true,false) |
| Fortinet_Security_SyncedAt | Provides the last time the network object was added/updated after a security event in the FortiGate NGFW. | String |
The templates require Session variables described in the table below:
| Session Variable | Description |
| Token | The token with which a user can make API calls to the FortiGate appliance |
